"Please sign in" error - Unable to Get Video or Audio Manifests

[DeveloperJake1]

Version

6.4.3

Platform

.NET Standard 2.1

Steps to reproduce

Run the following code:

var youtube = new YoutubeClient();

var videoUrl = '';
await youtube.Videos.DownloadAsync(videoUrl, pwy);

or..

await youtube.Videos.Streams.GetManifestAsync(videoUrl, cancelToken);

var streamInfo = streamManifest
       .GetVideoOnlyStreams()
       .Where(s => s.Container == Container.Mp4)
       .GetWithHighestVideoQuality();

Or simply try to download a video in any way.

Details

When I execute any method which involves getting the Manifest of a video, the system throws the error which is printed below.

This was not recently happening, and is just now occurring potentially due to a patch from youtube side. From other posts, the solution seems to be by using a different repository to create a sign in function; however, this is not optimal for all types of apps/websites which relied on Youtube Explode's non-login based repo.

VideoUnplayableException: Video '' is unplayable. Reason: 'Please sign in'.

At the moment, Yt Explode is unusable on my side.

I have noticed when a video is blocked in your country, you receive an error. For instance, these 2 videos (TII6YfZ4xqw and 32G2evH77yE) are blocked in my country and I'm encounter this error when attempting to retrieve the video manifest:

Video video = await youtube.Videos.GetAsync(url);
StreamManifest manifest = await youtube.Videos.Streams.GetManifestAsync(video.Id);

Exception has occurred: CLR/YoutubeExplode.Exceptions.VideoUnplayableException
An exception of type 'YoutubeExplode.Exceptions.VideoUnplayableException' occurred in System.Private.CoreLib.dll but was not handled in user code: 'Video '32G2evH77yE' is unplayable. Reason: 'Please sign in'.'

The video isn't blocked in my country. It does this with every video, including the sample blender one.

Looks like a duplicate of #794, there's more information in that thread

Resolved found the actual problem unfortunately it appears you can't just get the audio manifest when downloading Audio only by including the video manifest the error is gone see code below

this fixes the error

` if (rbMp3Only.Checked) { DeleteTemMergeFiles(); ProgessLabel.Text = "Getting video manifest"; long fileSize = audioStreamInfo.Size.Bytes + videoStreamInfo.Size.Bytes; long downloadSpeed = 10 * 1024 * 1024 / 8; // Example download speed (10 Mbps) double downloadTimeInSeconds = CalculateDownloadTime(fileSize, downloadSpeed); // Update ProgressBar with estimated download time pBarDownloadProg.Maximum = (int)downloadTimeInSeconds; var audioDownloadTask = DownloadStreamAsync(youtube, audioStreamInfo, audioFilePath);

//To fix the error you must also download the video stream also //or you get the login error var videoDownloadTask = DownloadStreamAsync(youtube, videoStreamInfo, videoFilePath);

outputFilePath = Path.Combine(VideoFolderPath, txtSaveVideoAs.Texts + ".mp3"); ProgessLabel.Text = "Downloading audio file"; }`
